They're back.....

Well, I hate to admit it but I saw a few Black Flies yesterday. The good news is that the temperature has dropped dramatically and frost is predicted for tonight, so that will slow down the onslaught for a few more days. The other good news is that the first of the critters to hatch don't bite much, they just buzz around and annoy you. Consider it training...

If you would like to learn more about Black Flies, check out what our friends at Agriculture Canada have to say. If you would like to celebrate Black Fly culture, you can always participate in the town of South River's annual Black Fly Hunt! Going to Maine soon? The Maine Nature News has a very detailed Black Fly Report and rating system.
